BBQ Ribs

Country-style pork ribs are a great thing to fix on the grill. They do not require boiling or any other pre-cooking like a lot of other types of ribs and are quick and easy.

Early in the day, prep the ribs by rinsing and patting them dry.

Next, sprinkle both sides with your seasonings of choice. I used garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and zatarain's cajun seasoning [season salt].

I had a half bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's Chipotle Honey BBQ sauce in the fridge. To it I added a 1/4 to 1/2 a cup of white vinegar...I would have preferred apple cider vinegar, but I didn't have any. You don't want to thin your sauce too much, so just add enough vinegar to make it a nice marinade consistency. I also added 2-3 dashes of liquid smoke. I gave it a shake, put the ribs in a ziplock bag, and poured most of the sauce in as well. Save a small amount of sauce and set aside. Seal the bag, squishy all around until the sauce is distributed evenly, and return it to the fridge until you are ready to grill.

When you are ready, preheat the grill on high. Once hot, throw the ribs on and reduce heat to medium-low. Flip after 10 minutes and re-baste with the reserved sauce & cook another 10.

Let the ribs sit tented w/ foil for 5 minutes before serving.

We had ours with steamed broccoli topped with cheese & garlic texas toast.

Ingredients: 2lbs of country-style ribs, misc. spices, BBQ sauce, vinegar - preferably apple cider, broccoli, cheese, texas toast*

*Note: Publix sells Pepperidge Farm Texas Toast in the bread isle...butter and season it yourself! So much better than the frozen versions. Keeps better, too since I don't have a freezer.
